Publisher's Synopsis
This booklet is the result of award-winning author Carolyn Howard-Johnson's extensive work with clients who hate writing book proposals and hate learning how to write them even more. She found herself coaching them through the process rather than doing it for them, for who could possibly recreate the passion an author feels for his or her own book better than the author? In doing so, she found she had written a booklet--not a tome-- on how to write a proposal that is most likely to elicit the enthusiasm required for an agent or publisher to shepherd the author's idea from a dream to a real book--paper, sweet-smelling ink and all. And the best part? It took her clients only about thirty minutes to absorb the essentials. Voila! The Great First Impression Book Proposal was born.
